My Cousin, Oh To Leave Us So Soon

I remember changing diapers When you were about two Remember some of the capers You'd get yourself into One such such caper comes to mind We'd all been down to nap It's been one I'd like to rewind Because to me, naps were crap If just one of us were awake You never would have made the climb Resulting in a sick mistake We could have lost you, before your prime Whenever you became a man Gone away was the clown I even became a big fan Though I wasn't around You went and became a soldier And still I'm not around Circumstance after another Brought me back to town I befriended you on face book To keep myself in touch With my computer I can look See how you are and such To share about myself in turn My plans to reconnect soon took a dive Today at four o'clock I learned You no longer were alive
